Simon said there were some basic rules such as dogs being kept on leads, off the flower beds, out of the buildings and that owners clear up after their pets: “Because we don’t usually have dogs here, we are asking people to act responsibly and be considerate as we are not geared up for poop scooping.”

Not that Simon is expecting any problems, though: “There’s plenty of room for everyone here and plenty to explore. Many of our members and visitors are dog owners and we know they love the Garden and respect what we have here so there’s no reason to think it will be anything other than another fabulous day out at the best garden in Wales.”
